Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Especially gossip, no one dares not to take it seriously.

Lawrence, who was waiting patiently at home, breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he had made the right bet.

What say does the shipyard have in this distribution?

It is better to wait honestly and seize the opportunity to report to the Duke, which will give you a better chance.

Facts have proved that nothing can be hidden from the Duke, just wait and see.

Anyone who jumps up and down will be in bad luck.

As for being remembered by the shipyard, I just need to find an opportunity to send a batch of gifts in the future.

The shipyard group was initially soft-hearted in accepting gifts and had blisters in their mouths after eating.

The sudden gossip was like a basin of cold water, cooling down my heart.

The bustling crowd suddenly turned into a deserted place.

I originally felt that I was the center of the world, but suddenly I realized that I was just pretending to be powerful.

All the popularity and glamor come from the power and influence of the Duke.

Sudden changes are the most sobering.

The shipyard party asked to see the Duke again, but the aide directly asked them to return and brought the Duke's original words: "Do your work well and avoid arrogance and impetuosity."

This already illustrates the Duke's attitude. He has no intention of continuing to pursue the case. It is just a small warning.

The director of the shipyard did not dare to continue to pester, and hurriedly led the people back all the way.

I was very happy when I arrived, and I was even in the mood to have fun watching the Railway Department. I was in a panic when I left, and I was not in the mood to watch the excitement.

But after this incident, maybe some awe can be generated, which is a good thing.

However, Lawrence asked for an audience again and was allowed to see the Duke.

"Duke."

Lawrence stood obediently in front of the table. This time he got the upper hand by chance, but he saw the Duke's methods more intuitively and was even more in awe.

He considered himself a capable person, but he was submissive to the Duke's methods.

"I can rest assured that I will leave the first ironclad ship to you," Derek said beautiful words, but Lawrence did not dare to be proud.

“You did a good job this time, it seems your mind is still clear.

It seems that these two years of traveling back and forth to Ghana have not made you develop any bad habits.

Just in time, let's put down the task of escorting the transport fleet from now on. I will give you another ironclad ship in the first batch, and I will add five to seven ironclad ships to you in the second and third batches.

The principality is preparing to establish the Garnad Naval Command. You will be the first commander. Do you understand your mission? "

Faced with the sudden falling pie, Lawrence was pleasantly surprised.

But power comes with responsibility, and this is not a job for the elderly.

Two years of traveling between Canad and the mainland have already given him a good understanding of the situation along the route.

Facing the Duke's pre-appointment test, he thought for a moment and immediately came up with a plan: "Understand that the Garnad Naval Command will safeguard the interests of the New World colonies, and no enemy can cross us to directly threaten the colonies."

Lawrence felt that this was the mission of the Garnad Naval Command.

After all, there are too many interests of principalities in the colonies.

The annual gold and silver mines are enough for the navy to build dozens of warships.

Seeing that this income is increasing, of course, stronger military power is needed to ensure it.

However, Derek looked disappointed, stood up, walked to Lawrence, and said in a deep voice: "Not enough, you come with me."

The two walked to the huge map. The map hanging on the wall included all the areas explored by the Northern Principality.

Ganade occupies a large area, and the islands and ports along the way are also marked one by one.

Derek held a small stick and pointed at the northern coast of Canad.

The sticks run from the silver mines to the colonies of the southern nobles and further into the center to Gem Harbor.

“Ironclad ships have greater secrecy, can run faster, have stronger firepower, and have stronger defenses.

This is an epoch-making weapon, and no ship on the sea will be able to challenge it for at least two to three years.

We will not fall behind within five years and will not be eliminated within ten years.

Over such a long period of time, military shipyards will continue to innovate, and on the sea... we will maintain a strong advantage. "

Lawrence's blood boiled when he heard it. As a strong party, the pleasure of crushing everything was something that the weak could not understand.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am really too conservative.

“Such a huge advantage is not just for viewing.

We must turn our advantages into benefits and continuously feed them back to the local area.

When this cycle is established, the principality becomes stronger and stronger, which in turn will feed back to the navy.

If you gain the first-mover advantage, sooner or later the double-headed dragon flag will be planted in every land where the sun rises.

The kingdom is not the end, and neither is the empire.

I want to be an empire on which the sun never sets, and I want the whole world to crawl at the feet of the empire.

Now, we have taken the first step, and the next step is up to you... Mr. Lawrence, do you have the confidence to do great things together with me? "

With the ability to draw a big pie at full level, Lawrence instantly became excited.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to expand my territory for you. Please tell me... what should I do."

People must have pursuits.

There is a great goal ahead that seems within reach, which can give people a hundred and twenty points of motivation.

Lawrence originally thought that his future was in the soon-to-be-established Admiralty, and that he might be a politician for the rest of his life.

After all, the visible future is here.

But now... he feels that he can still work for another thirty years. Compared with fighting for power in the principality, being the naval commander of the Empire where the sun never sets sounds more tempting.

Being famous in history is what a man should pursue.

Derrick certainly would not give up such a good opportunity. His stick drew a big circle on the map.

"The ocean is too big, but the suitable routes are not big.

We cannot occupy all the land, but we can collect taxes like the colonists who occupy the land.

Take your fleet to fight, defeat the whites, defeat the Southerners, and defeat all those who are not convinced.

Then occupy the main sea routes, occupy important ports, and collect tolls from them.

We will take a share of the interests of the entire New World.

Five years later, we may only transport 200,000 or 300,000 people and retain very few colonies.

Ten years later, we will have millions of immigrants available.

Twenty years later, there will be tens of millions of immigrants.

The whole time, sooner or later, the world will be ruled by the two-headed dragon flag.

I...Derrick swears in the name of God that my glory will be shared with my subjects.

You...Lawrence, maybe you can also sit on the position of duke."

If you want to draw a big pie, of course you have to be big. Whether it can be realized is another matter, but it must be big.

Look, Lawrence was fooled.

Derek was also very generous to his subordinates. His character accumulated in normal times was reflected at critical moments.

Lawrence believed his words without a doubt.

Neither of them thought that this was impossible. After all, with the ironclad ship here, it would be difficult to lose.

After being fooled, Lawrence immediately took a train to Augusta City, and then rode to the military shipyard.
